Doctrine and Covenants D&C 25:3
"Behold, thy sins are forgiven thee, and thou art an elect lady, whom I have called."
New Testament 2 John 1:1
"The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth;"

Shared words: elect lady

'elect lady' stands at exactly two frozen verses: these two. Divergences: the epistle's is a third-person salutation to an addressee the letter never otherwise names; the revelation's is a second-person predicate attached to a named woman, with the indefinite article for the definite. No identification is made between the two figures — the texts make none.
